The European Space Agency organised the first citizens' consultation about space
The Citizens' Debate on Space for Europe is a unique - indeed the first - consultation organised in every member state of the European Space Agency (ESA). Over 2000 citizens selected to reflect the socio-demographic diversity of their country debated space issues during a day-long meeting. In order to consolidate the 22 national results reports into one European report, all debates followed the same instructions and the same set of questions has been answered.

Private spaceflight company Blue Origin founded by Billionaire Jeff Bezos' sucessfully launched a prototype reusable rocket into space and then landed it back on Earth on April 2: it is the companies third successful test flight in less than five months. Now will they protect the New Sheppard spacecraft against radiation for their future passengers? we hope so!

2016-04-04 11:28:43

Irene invited to participate on the roundtable debate focussed on the search for life on planet Mars, the astrobiological implications of a potential finding of lifeforms on the red planet as well as its philosophical & ethical implications.

Irene was invited to participate at the The ILRP Leaders Summit at Hilo, Hawaii.
There representatives from government, industry and academia at a “leaders summit” on the island of Hawai‘i in November will be discussing the goal of developing a plan to implement a multinational, lunar-based research park within a decade. She will be contributing to the architecture and infrastructure working group.
The ILRP Leaders Summit is being hosted by the State of Hawai‘i in collaboration with the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES), the Pacific International Space Alliance (PISA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the ILRP Corporate Consortium, and the UH Hilo Conference Center.

ISE will be officially collaborating with the Lunar Google Xprize team FredNet in making sure the risk of solar storms in jeopardizing the communications to the moon will be minimized. A solar storm can yield a powerful stream of high energy charged particles which could power down on board systems provoking black outs and thus jeopardizing the whole mission, especially since the whole mission success depends on the successful transmission of data from the Moon. Other areas of collaboration are being explored as well.

The solar storms flared up between Feb. 23 and 24 and exploded from nearly all areas of the star, including the top, bottom, left and right sides of the solar disk as seen by space-based observatories, according to NASA scientists. In fact, four of these outbursts came within a single 24-hour period.
